Abstract: This report summarizes a site investigation at the vicinity of the landfill, a discontinuous permafrost site, at Fort Wainwright, Alaska. The objective of this effort was to characterize the permafrost extent and groundwater flow at the study area, and to compare newly collected subsurface characteristics with historical datasets. The main tasks for this effort included lidar and remote sensing analyses, geophysical investigations, a tracer dye study, contaminant trend analysis, and installation of soil temperature sensors. Findings included changes in stream channels and watershed boundaries, and elevation losses (0.2 m to 1 m) east and northeast of the landfill. From frost probe measurements, we found that depths to permafrost were up to 1.5 m deeper in 2021 than in 2010 where the difference in depth ranged from 20% to more than 350%. Furthermore, we detected a reduction in lateral permafrost extent from geophysical datasets. The groundwater flow direction, as detected through the dye study, was south to southwest. Dye was detected up to 2,300 m from the injection point. Groundwater travel times, as calculated from the dye study, varied greatly. For upcoming historical comparisons, it is recommended that data collections are performed using similar methods as described in this study.
